Bush and the press:

The Pope was visiting DC and President Bush took him out
for an afternoon on the Potomac...sailing on the
President's yacht. They were admiring the sights when, all
of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blew off his head
and out into the water. Secret service guys started to
launch a boat, but President Bush waves them off,
saying "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."

President Bush then stepped off the yacht onto the surface
of the water and walked out to the Holy Father's little
hat, bent over and picked it up, then walked back to the
yacht and climbed aboard. He handed the hat to the Pope
amid stunned silence.

The next morning, the Washington Post carried a story, with
front page photos, of the event. The banner headline
is: "Bush Can't Swim"
